Angry

Well I have seen drink driving convictions destroy the careers of 2 friends of mine who were Captains on their respective jets. The airlines in both cases hounded them out and in the one case BALPA just were not interested in mounting a serious defence.

That being the case the situation of a Wannabe with 200hrs would be dire. As the forum Moderators - both of whom I note are current airline pilots - have tried to say and to illustrate.

The bitchy comments by people like Tristar Freak make me quite angry. I have seen a range of opinions and advice on this forum from which the individual can choose. To attack people presenting part of that range because it does not fit in with your view is childish and counter productive.

But thats people I suppose.
